Rain or shine, Letter Carriers to to help "Stamp Out Hunger."
Saturday, May 10th

On Saturday, May 10th, local Letter Carriers will be doing more than just delivering your mail - they will also be collecting non-perishable food for the Rhode Island Community Food Bank.

Leave a bag of non-perishable food by your mailbox, starting at 9am on May 10th, and your Letter Carrier will pick it up for donation to the Food Bank during their daily routes. The 16th Annual Letter Carriers Food Drive is made possible by the National Association of Letter Carriers, the United Way of Rhode Island, AFL-CIO Community Services and the United States Postal Service.
